About this map

The Conewago Mountains dominate this mid-century landscape of York County, Pennsylvania, where the winding course of Conewago Creek carves a deep valley through the forested terrain. This survey captures a moment of local recreation and transit, featuring the developing Gifford Pinchot State Park and Conewago Lake on the western edge. Cultural landmarks of the era are well-represented, including the Susquehanna Speedway near Erney and a Drive-in Theater just south of Strinestown.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous rural centers such as Zions View and Andersontown, alongside country churches like St James Ch and Rohlers Ch. The transition from agrarian land to suburban development is evident in the residential lanes appearing near Dover, with infrastructure like a Pipeline and the Outdoor Country Club marking the changing character of the Manchester and Dover townships during the early 1960s.
